Base Ball Notes.

On last Sunday the base ball reporter was
invited to take a trip into the country-or
rather woods-to see game of base ball be-
tween the Hayseeds, of Ironton, and the
Haw-we were going to say Haw- Eaters,
but we believe they call themselves the Blue
Ribbons. The game was called about Il
O'Clock and resulted in victory for the
Hayseeds - although SEINE of them were
pretty well FUSED up"-by a score of 30 te
20. There was quite a crowd from Irontor
there.
The Clippers will play the Bismarck clul
